>>97330843What's wrong with plapadins?
POOOOOOSSSTTT OOOOOCCCCCC
>>97330843You literally can't fool anyone you're not the mogoloid at this point. Same shit opinions. Same ESL writing style. Better try to samefag as some other persona.
>>97330843
>>97330866Why is the end of the fart green and blue, when nothing else is?
>>97330856Nothing wrong with being a mongol...
>>97330856>mogoloidLiterally who
>>97330774 Yeah, yeah. D&D stole the idea from russian fairy tails just like it stole many other ideas.Most people only know about liches from D&D anon, nobody is going to know WTF I'm talking about if I say "Koshchei". There's this thing call a colloquialism, where communicating an idea in a way people understand is more important that being 100% accurate like an autist.>>97330809 Anon, D&D liches are also puppets being controlled by a soul item. That's why they die when you destroy the phylactery. Magical girls may have a shorter string, but it's the same thing.
>>97330866I love how two cats just turn to the farting one like>DUUUUDE SERIOUSLY? FOR FUCKS SAKE
>>97330877Color scaling for infrared images usually puts red as hotter, going down to blue or purple as colder. The fart cooled off and thus changed what frequency IR it was emitting, and thus what color it got represented as.
>>97330877what is: Heat Diffusion for 200 alex?
My name is TokjeetIn these threads I shitPick my poop upWrap it in tarpKiss in gay wayAnd call CYOA
Enter Super Hero! Or maybe you're a Villain?Make your own Earth, unlock your powers and show off what it means to be a true beacon of hope!Please provide feedback, its much appreciated!
>>97330916>Magical girls may have a shorter string, but it's the same thing.But the lich doesn't have a string, it doesn't have a distance limit like the gem.
>>97330916>Most people only know about liches from D&D anon, nobody is going to know WTF I'm talking about if I say "Koshchei".Retarded russianfaggot genuinely thinks no one knows about his Cuckschei despite it being like one of three things of note that the entirety of r*ssian folklore managed to produce in two thousand years. Plus DnD slapped the Kostschscheie name on that demon lord that is basically just there to be cucked too.Your attempt at elitism failed utterly, ruskie.

>>97330959
>>97330950@Grok, put Anon into a maid outfit for his bratty behavior
>>97330923>>97330924No - the rest of the image goes from yellow to purple with no green inbetween, while the fart goes from yellow to green with no purple inbetween. It's 2 different color gradients. No matter whether you decide green would be colder or hotter than purple, it doesn't work.It's fake.In reality, the cat wasn't farting.
>>97330970

>>97331000
>>97331012
>>97331020
>>97330940This looks so much simpler compared to everything else by this guy. Where are the barely visible images in the background? The fade in borderless options? The barelt readable fonts that make you ask what the fuck you're reading?>>97331011This looks pretty dark to me.
>>97330981It doesn't go through purple from yellow to green, purple is on the other side of blue, it's colder than blue. Also in the last second the leftmost part of the fart was turning purple because it cooled off even more.
>>97331027
>>97330943A string with infinite range is still a string. The lich's body is a puppet piloted by it's phylactery. It's soul is in the phylactery even as it controls the distant body.
>>97331045
>>97331043Anon...Look at the cats.There is no green on the cats. It goes yellow (high) -> red (mid) -> magenta (low) -> purple (lowest).

>>97330940From a scale of 1 to 10 how rape friendly is this OC?
>>97331054
Choose Your Own Cat Fart general
>>97331065Fin!>>9733106510 obviously. I love rape!
>>97331073Based, I'll proceed to pleasure myself with your OC.
>>97330946>16 pagesI ain't reading all that shit, but congrats on making a good OC
BASED
>>97330940Reminder that cubari.moe provides the best online reading experience for long CYOAs.https://cubari.moe/read/imgchest/9p4nzrxww4n/1/1/
>>97331050Because the purple on the cats are hair that is colder, due to the insulation of the hair. The temperature difference of the hair is just that great. So you either see past the hair to the temperature of the cat below, or you don't, and just see room temperature hair. Also I have now hit my limit of how much I can argue about cat farts for the day. So I will just direct you to look at more infrared photography if you still don't get it.
>>97330940I'll make a build for it later out of respect for your Viz Volaire CYOA which I liked... until you had to add NSFW shit to it which didn't fit the theme and tone of the setting in the slightest. However>villain>you are morally evilIs Mr. Freeze an anti-hero by your (sadly retarded) logic?
>>97331089>direct you to look at more infrared cat fart photography
>>97330940Damn you've been churning out OC. Nice work!
>>97331092Mr Freeze is an incel, which is absolute evil
>>97331081Its probably my least text heavy CYOA yet. Most of the pages are taken up by art.>>97331092Mr. Freeze is either an Anti-Hero or Anti-Villain if I remember correctly(as he is not entirely self-interested, but is working to save his wife). Villainous is more in Joker, Lex Luthor or Darkseid territory, if we are talking DC.
I LIKE GIL KINO POST GIL KINO
holy fuck there are a lot of conditions
there is no such thing as a "gil kino"
>>97331095I suspect catfag actually fucks cats, I just can't prove it.
>>97330940looks bad ngl
Why is it that every time OC is posted, there is on faggot who yells something retarded about "gil"?
There is so such a thing as Gil kino.
>>97331156>Already whining before even reading the cyoa.The absolute fucking state of this place.
>>97331157He is part of our lolfarmGil = cowTok = hogItalics = roosteretc
>>97331108>Lex LuthorEhhh depends he is sometimes a misguided human supremacist.
Shitposters panicking at the OC drop
>>97331174Original Lex hates supes for literally no reason at all other than "he exists and that makes me mad!!!" and he has, canonically sacrificed thousands of human lives just to annoy superman. He is one of the pettiest characters in fiction.
>>97331174Am I supposed to consider that a bad thing? Both DC and Marvel have a lot of shitty ayy lmaos wanting to fuck Earth up.
>>97331157Its just our resident mentally ill retard, ignore him.
>>97330940Finally, OC that makes me sleepy. Im gonna go take a nap.
skimmed through most of it, don't really like it. Every cool choice is gimped and limited. Oh well...
>>97331191Yeah but he doesn't hate all ayys, just Superman specifically. Luthor has teamed with alien villains like Brainiac multiple time to take superman down.
>>97331136
I'm going to be honest. I'd rather be a faggot paladin than a mega faggot supe. FUCK capeslop.
>>97331224Dredd is a capeslop character retard.

>>97331057
>>97330940I don't really read comics so perhaps I'm not the right person to say, but what you call "anti-villainous" on page 1 sounds like what is called an anti-hero instead.And your "anti-heroic" sounds like shady government people/projects (like the teleporting CIA boss from Invincible and his allies) - characters like that are not normally called anti-heroes, a stereotypical anti-hero is instead an edgy idealistic loner vigilante.

>>97331369Its easy to misunderstand anti heroes and anti villains and most people call anti villains for anti heroes, when really they are not. Anti-Heroes and Anti-Villains, are not opposites of each other.The Anti-Hero is not necessarily right, but when he wins, the world is generally considered to improve.The Anti-Villain is usually right in their arguments. But if they win, the world is often worse for it.
what cyoa has gil even made?
>>97331651a lot

We would be very close friends, exchanging hyper-accelerated sign language, to outside observers we would seem like psi users or fucking jedi. Appearing always detached, the other most likely enjoyable experience would be sparring with the so-called "rival" War, even with the ability to foresee the future there is no way for her to keep up with someone thinking aeons ahead of her.I internally wonder how Time, or other pre-cog users, would react to such sensory overloads when dealing with Death. Billions of actions and decisions in fractions of fractions of micro seconds suddenly assaulting their senses yet with so much time to oneself predicting other people would be trivial. The conversations between Death and Time would appear to be entirely disjointed and make no sense as one predicts what the other is saying years in advance, while the other steals visions of a future that may (or may not) even exist.Curbing an empire, and cowing an apostate is less of a matter of "if" and more of a matter of "how would he want to". It would be fun to learn about The Apostate, then show her the story of her life down to each individual micro detail while showing her how it is most likely to end. Like peeling an onion, the conversation would be both intimate and deeply invasive as each aspect of your person is displayed by a stranger.
>>97330940This looks much more simple than your usual fare, which I appreciate, though I do find the overall design a bit unappealing. May be the primary color itself. It always occurs to me, perhaps most notably with Worm, that super hero cyoas are plagued by the vast powerscaling differences inherent to the medium. When given the choice, do you wanna be just a guy but better or do you wanna fuck reality in the ass? The best choices always gravitate towards super intelligence, tech, and reality warping, while basic elemental kinesis or teleporting, for example, are there for spare points. I do wanna say, on a final note, I’m thankful you took the time to make your own characters. There are few things i dislike more than playing through a seemingly original cyoa and near the end they throw just literal Harley Quinn at you or some shit. Hopefully I’ll have more specific feedback once I’ve finished crunching through all the pages.
>>97331389alright
>>97331756BENIS
>>97331756These naked cats make me laugh whenever I see them. Very few things on the internet do, these days. Why are cats so special?
>>97331746>It always occurs to me, perhaps most notably with Worm, that super hero cyoas are plagued by the vast powerscaling differences inherent to the medium.

Stop trying to frame natural truths as problems.
>>97331777NTA but if you're the author of the cyoa and it's an original setting, you can make the powers be whatever you want.
>>97331774Hairless cats are great. Very slappable.
Best CYOA for NTR? I have dark desires. Btw, I post paladin and it's my favorite CYOA of the year.
>>97330940It's giving me deja vu, something about the text font and dark red background, did you post a page before ?
>>97331857It looks very similar to the My Hero Academy cyoa (a mcyoag OC).
>>97331842/trash/ unironically is where you should go for this.
>>97330940I never could really get into cyoas where you build the world along with your personal build (unless it's a kingdom builder where you build your own realm). I guess it's a matter of too many open variables. Like, having a specific world and / or scenario gives it more focus and flavor than just assembling it from generic elements?
>>97330946Holy sht sylen, did you use a guro image for dead starlight? Damn
>>97331857A series of Captain America ripoff cyoas on reddit has almost the same design. Captain star or something like that. I can find it needed.
>>97330940Sign of good OC is when they make you feel things on the very first page.
>>97330940This is officially better than every other capeshit on page 1.
>>97330940Does Knowledge bypass the pick one condition in mental powers?
>>97331664I hope thats fixed now.>>97331394Its meant to be Creativity. Simple as. >>97331211Hope you sleep well anon!>>97331857Yes.>>97331908It might not look like it, but she is okay.>>97332003The what?
>>97332043Mental powers section says pick ONE.
>>97330940this >>97331137It's suffocating, it's a chore, it would be a vastly superior CYOA if almost all conditions were simply removed. It's annoying busywork that drains fun and motivation from me.
>>97332043>I hope thats fixed now.Page order is still messed up.
>>97330916>Anon, D&D liches are also puppets being controlled by a soul item. That's why they die when you destroy the phylactery.D&D liches don't die when you destroy the phylactery. Destroying the phylactery stops their body from reforming but you still need to kill them normally.
>>97332043Any last page unpostable here? Is it in the imagechest?
>>97332055Yeah, I made a mistake when I called it simple in an earlier comment. There’s a lot to manage for some fairly basic selections. I also don’t understand why some powers necessitate drawbacks and other, probably better, powers don’t.
cyoa cucked by trying to balance itself
>>97330940Does purification work on yourself?
>>97332071>Destroying the phylactery stops their body from reforming but you still need to kill them normally.NTA, but that depends on edition. It was as you describe in 3e, but some editions have it be instant death on phylactery death. The Lore is also inconsistent between setting; ravenloft 3e has instant lich death for example.
>>97332003>>97332048Is it even a limitation? It just says define the nature, like a main power, not that only one can be picked.
>>97332061What pages in particular? Page 15 says page 10 by accident and page 13 had a layering issue i missed.>>97332048Do you mean genius poewrs?>>97332074Sadly not this time.>>97332132Yes.>>97332127You're welcome to expand your criticism.>>97332055>>97332109I am puzzled, because test feedback was that it was very simple and I was afraid it was too simple this time around. Is it only the conditions tied to super goals and motivations that are complex? I can get that its complex if you're trying to minmax, but page one isn't exactly meant to cater to min maxxers.
>>97332241>Do you mean genius poewrs?Yea.
>>97332241It’s not hard, Sylen, it’s just a lot of bullshit for no reason. You don’t just get three Benefits, you accumulate Benefits across 16 pages. You don’t just pick powers, you have multiple options that impact your selection of powers, in addition to a hard limit stated on page 1. Almost every single option in the cyoa has “conditions” which may be impacted by multiple other options which themselves have “conditions.” I don’t understand why you don’t understand why this is annoying. >ah yes I’ve chosen to wear blue pants, but I can only wear the blue plants on sunday and if you pick the red shirt you get two more pairs of pants but not green and also take a drawback
>>97332315real and true and real and realhaving to keep track of everything makes me not want to play
>>97332241Pages 7 and 8 are reversed in order.
>>97332315A lot of his cyoas are like this, in this case it's just a lot worse somehow.
I agree with other anon that it's complicated and you have to keep track of everything in writing from page 1 onward but I also think those other anons have skill issues so don't listen to them.
>>97330940The limit of 5 canon events makes it impossible to choose events with 3 or more prerequisites, unless I missed some options that give many canon event choices.
Okay, an actually important complaint: I want to pick Monstrous. It requires alien physiology of meta-human for some retarded reason like a normal human can't be turned into a monster with magic or something.
>>97332315just open up notepad bro
>>97332315I dont know. I just dont feel stimulated at all when a CYOA says "pick x here" and "pick y here" and then nothing else than that. I also dont mind flipping back and forth every now and then.>>97332463That is an oversight. Its meant to also be pickable if you have any source of power.>>97332422I think you might be correct. It was supposed to be 5 negative and 5 positive.
>>97330940Huh, there's a fun way to game Lethal so you effectively get level above without having to select any drawbacks. If you choose justice and responsibility(choose justice's condition) as your super goal then you can be the one guy with 2 major powers while everyone else only has 1 minor power. Please don't nerf this
>>97332241Am I required to choose at least 1 power modifier on page 2?By common sense I shouldn't, but by instructions on page 1 I should.Like another anon noted with the VTM cyoa, you have a way of making instructions unnecessarily complicated... instead of the statement on page 1 that you "must make a choice unless otherwise noted", how about putting a short standardized instruction in front of each choice:(motivations:)>"choose 1 to 3"(power modifiers:)>"choose 0 or more" (or "choose 1 or more" if that's what you really meant)and keep the phrasing exactly consistent.
>>97332532It’s not an inherently bad thing to have conditional options but it can’t be every fucking one
>>97332581>not picking catastrophic and one level aboveWhy would he nerf a jobber build?
>>97332581It's extra funny if you do this after picking powerless, so you end up having 2 major powers while everyone else has no powers.
>>97332598Isn't that basically Watchmen? Dr. Manhattan was the only one with real superpowers, but everyone pretended it's the same thing as the other superheroes.
>>97330940You made it extremely hard to be a skeleton in this. But I'll probably figure it out at some point.
>>97332586 (me)(I messed up this post so many times)By power modifier I meant: level modifier.
>>97332532How does Transformation boosted Miracles stack up to Hyper level Chaos?
>>97330940Probabaly going to make a build next thread
>>97332532Was this the full release? You said some sections still needed like 2weeks.
>>97332562>>97332576>>97332586Modifier sections are tied to their parent section. I did not explain this properly i suppose. Power Level requires you not to have Powerless. Power Modifiers require you to have any Power Level.>>97332589Why not? Its fun. I dont like simple pill pickers. I dont want to make pill pickers.>>97332674As always, there is bound to be oversights by me, stuff that needs better explanation and more companion choices. I dont know if I agree with the criticism that its too complicated. Also, at this point, experience tells me not to listen to feedback from here unless its eloquently presented with reasoning behind it. But I do want things to be as simple as possible, whilst still being able to maintain conditions. So I might make chances in the name of trying to make the CYOA more accessible.>>97332663Pretty good i'd say. Chaos biggest weakness is it needs concentration. So if you can miracle into being something that can break that concentration, then you're going to royally fuck over someone who uses Chaos.>>97332671I look forward to it anon! Its a long CYOA, so I will monitor a little longer than usual.
Ok I'm over it. Please post some OC.
>>97332734>experience tells me not to listen to feedback from hereYou are just too retarded to understand good feedback.
>>97332532Superman raping superman...This is deep.
>>97332754>immediately insults meWhy do you want my attention so badly? Did your mom not love you enough? You even conveniently left out the rest of the sentence. "this is shit" is not feedback I can use for anything.
>>97330940>If you take threatening while you're level 4, you have to take 8 more common threats>Armageddon already has you take 8 common threats>There are 16 common threat optionsSo are you forced to take everything to unlock the threats with prereqs? Also, if you take Armageddon and one level above, you should have to take 18 common threats, but there aren't enough common threats for that. Are you locked out of taking threatening then since you can't actually fulfill it?
>>97332805>if you take Armageddon and one level above, you should have to take 18 common threatsWith Threatening. Should be obvious, but I could already sense that one fucker about to pretend otherwise.
>>97332805What makes you think that taking level 4 with one level above has you take 18 common threats? Where does it say that Level 5 has to do that?
>>97332819>>97332814
>>97332805Power Level 5 is essentially just Power Level 4 with an extra Super Power choice. You dont have to take more common threats than Power Level 4. One Level Above already has you compensate with drawbacks and stage of the present.
>>97332835>>97332819Threatening means you have to choose (your level x2) extra common threats, so 10 more common threats with the base 8 from Armageddon
>>97332853Well, there is a reason why it states it can only be chosen if you can fit the criteria. Is it really a drawback if you can vaporize every threat immediately anyway? Nah. Drawbacks are drawbacks. Having to deal with chaff stops being a drawback if you're the strongest most dangerous being around.
Options like this kill the mood for me, even if they are optional. Now I don't want to say the r-word, I'm not one of the xenophobes here, but this very much feels like reddit icyoa cancer. Lt. Ouromorov's Worm icyoa casts a long and terrible shadow. . .
>>97332890Spot on
>>97332907>"I'm a pig and I eat slop!"
>>97332878Fair enough, what about the first part of >>97332805I'm asking because despite Threatening implying otherwise(it seems like it's intended for you to be able to take if as a level 4 since it even tells you how many threats you can take) it's actually impossible to do so(you'd need to take every threat and two of them are impossible to unlock at the same time, Raiders need you to take Wasteland as your time stamp option and Chrome Junkies need you to take Futuristic)
>>97332920>redd*tfags bragging about their slop intakemany such cases,
>>97332835Why can´t tok be into this instead? Tired of those bimbo posts.
>>97330940I updated page 13 in the drive to properly convey that its five negative and five positive canon events.>>97332890Whats wrong with it? Its meant to be Earth variants, so would be bound to have differences.>>97332934That is true. I think I was mulling the possibility to take Rare Threats in place of Common threats also.
>>97332959>Whats wrong with it? Its meant to be Earth variants, so would be bound to have differences.Multiverses kill my attachment to a setting
>>97332959Multiverse tends to make smaller stories feel irrelevant.
>>97332959>Whats wrong with it?It's an option that creates a tie-in to an arbitrary media franchise in the middle of the cyoa. It's a matter of immersion and vibes, it can't really be explained much, but for me that kills the mood. Here it's just an option that the player can refrain from picking, but even then, playing with franchises in the middle of the cyoa like that is dangerous and toxic stuff.
>>97332959Imagine getting into the setting and suddenly you're hit with "select powers from your favorite franchise!"
>>97333015>>97333022"Multiverse" is overbroad, for me at least it's multiverses based on franchises specifically that are bad. I liked the multiverse of Lone Observer's Wanderer of Broken Worlds, which wasn't based on franchises.
>>97330940>always active + shapeshiftingdo i just become a blob of constantly transforming flesh
Some people just don't like franchiseslop, myself included. It's the lowest-hanging fruit of creative worldbuilding.
>>97330940I'm echoing some sentiment here, but jigsaw puzzle cyoa design like this is really excruciating to play.The unique, cool thing that CYOAs can do is present a player with choices. Do I pick X option, or Y option? What greater build best accomplishes my goals? What drawbacks or tradeoffs are worth taking for greater power? A CYOA that gets the player to weigh choices heavily for a lot of time is taking full advantage of the medium.With CYOA design like this one, it seems as if 95% of making a build is in unravelling the mechanics. If I want to make a shapeshifter build, I need to comb through every perspective, goal, motivation, setting option, source, benefit, drawback, and canon event for the mechanical bonuses that I can use to buy powers. If I want to compare that build to, say, a build focused around precognition, I have to comb through every one of those sections again. By designing the CYOA this way, even basic decisions like this (shapeshifting vs precognition) become incredibly arduous to actually get to, and that's really bad because that's the main feature of CYOAs as a medium.The nature of these mechanical bonuses also seems to push samey builds, with any competently made build being a few strong powers and a bunch of minor powers to supplement. There's really no option for the 1-2 powered specialist builds that (imo) make for some of the best super hero designs. Super/hyper powers don't even seem to be accessible at the lower power levels.Capeshit's always welcome, but imo this cyoa is worse off than a hypothetical alternate version that used a more streamlined ruleset.
>>97332959Your CYOA should be self-reliant. Using a franchise's creativity instead of your own is a faux-pas.
>>97333022Yes. From an outside observer, reader or watcher. You are an acting self-insert. Your story matters, since its you and only you. You die. Its over. Multiverse or not.>>97333053Something like that.>>97333057Thanks for the feedback anon. What mechanical bonuses in general are off-putting? Are we talking only page 1? Or others? Which ones specifically?
>>97333057>Super/hyper powers don't even seem to be accessible at the lower power levels.They are, so long as you do this >>97332581 you can use greater exchange to get a superpower.
>>97333101Solipsism can only take you so far. If YOUR story is about a street conman, but you have some Crisis of Infinite Earths bullshit going in the background, there will be some artistic clash.

>>97330940>Hyper Intangibility + Cloning>Have your clones do whatever while you sit completely untouchableWhy wouldn't this work
>>97333168So you dont want the CYOA to be able to cater to those who enjoy low power settings? What about Danger Level? And the difference in tone? Should the player not be rewarded for daring to venture into something more realistic? I dont know. I thought the conditionals that were being complained about were the "If x then you get y", not the overall idea that variance is haram.
>>97333116The author's right. Please stop seething.
>Tfw you realise Verso was a JRPG Traitor player all along, complete with busted cheat skills and convoluted backstory
>>97333109Am I reading this wrong? Greater exchange doesn't give super powers unless you're at catastrophic tier.>>97333197It's a design issue. You can scale laterally by taking more minor/major powers, (which everyone will) but you can't specialize. It makes it so players have samey kitchen sink builds at those low levels, rather than encouraging variance.

You know what really grinds my gears? The fleshwarping arts in After the Fall being called Daedalism while the machine-crafting arts are called Diabolism. I don't care what Hali says the names shouldve been swapped.

>>97333894Chrononaut can take it if you don't take anything else
>>97333057I found the Motivations in particular to be infuriating. The overlap with Super Goals is silly to start from a purely storytelling perspective, but every single fucking Motivation is a mechanical jigsaw puzzle that involves flipping through the next 15 pages AND they're so hyper-specific to build set-ups that you're not actually choosing a Motivation at all. Wanna be good-hearted? No, fuck you because you didn't pick three other options for an incredibly minor benefit.
>>97333897>if you don't take anything else>sacrifice everything for something the good scenario had for free
>>97333897Uh, neat. Almost suicidal but neat. I like the space scenario the most. It's also one where you can get immortality by yourself.
>>97333915>>97333773Honestly due to years being tight for the good shit, and some augs being priced questionably, my heart can only land at Cure for Mortality or Colonization. Everything else is a meme without price refactoring or an adjustment to the currency given, which is a shame I like the other scenarios.

>>97333947That's why I appreciate the reddit one even if it's reddit. It has a lot of things wrong with it but it also fixes some problem with the original. It doesn't do much for the first 2 scenarios but makes the 3rd one more of a focus.

>>97334392Not really. The average Armageddon level super without one of few specific powers is not comparable to a nuke in destructive power, at least not unless they are given a week or two, and that's assuming no resistance forces.Only the Armageddon+ level supers like us or those with one of few specific powers can be called living nukes.The very large scale destructive powers: Speed, Telekinesis, Nature (need preparation, can be stopped by lower power level beings), Inner Power, Summoning (same as Nature, but worse), Planar, Chaos. Almost all hyper powers.

>>97330940Since the Bleak level is supposed to be realistic, supers should automatically be the rulers of the world if the power level is Destructive or higher.
>>97334818Being powerful doesn't mean they'd be any good at being rulers, or good enough to hold the position.
>>97334810Genius makes you smart in general. Genius powers make you smart in specific areas.
>>97330946Having finally finished my first runthrough, I can say that took four times as long to make the same decisions as every cape cyoaLike, am I fucking crazy or is there a million ways to get benefits, companions, and body traits, but blessed few to actually get...super powers
>>97334823Sophistry. By the numbers, there would inevitably be supers powerful and/or suited enough to rule.
>>97334828You are fucking crazy. There are a million ways to get powers too, littered everywhere like the benefits, companions, and body traits.
>>97334827Yes but the wording:"Now what will be the nature of your genius potential?""You may chose one of the genius powers below to define the nature of your genius potential"Implies that it mightI actually don't know if that' meant to be a flavor option or a boonIt wouldn't really make sense to pick one of those to define yourself without actually picking the power
What about if of specifically picking companions/rivals, you have a set of characters that appear because of options you picked and start out with certain opinions about you, but can become allies or enemies depending on your actions or ability choices?Like>Anon (part of F.R.O.G. faction), starts out disliking you because your appearance made him leave his basement. You can just roll with Anon being your enemy or just go "eh, I'll befriend him later on because we are kinda similar".
>>97330940I feel like at a certain level of complexity, the design should be kept more concise when it comes to conditions and especially when there are multiple "point" systems given out. This one made it a little annoying to keep track of everything.
>>97334850GoodCompanions should add interactions with the world. (Typically)
>>97334839There would also be supers who would benefit from/uphold the status quo for whatever reason, unless it's through a legal channel. Most people aren't going to go full warlord the moment they get a modicum of power irl.
>>97334849>mayMeans picking a genius power is optional, i.e. the genius body trait doesn't give you a genius power for free.You can think of genius powers as additional, optional supplements to your intelligence.
>>97334818If there are enough of them to form a group they would conflictIf and when they conflict there is space for a representativeIf there is space for a representative, you need your to be someone you can trust, meaning those who are in the game are automatically out (And also those who can lie well will be disproportionately selected)In monarchies, where a single individual heads the state they likely would skew powered, and if a religion picks up on it they would all be, but in modern times with modern people I see no reason that the average super would be interested in politics and hoping to rule(And in the armageddon case where a single individual might outrank a nation, they still certainly cannot manage it and their human advisor would both be making all of the backround moves and be very able to assassinate them. They would be both a puppet and a military asset)(Actually all of the supers on that level should be endorsed by governments. In some way or another
>>97330940>no immortality optionMade me waste 15 minutes of my life.
>>97334855I was talking about when CYOA just adds a choice of companion as it's own separate choice, just because picking powers/world is seemingly not enough and you have to have a hypeman following you on top of that. Doesn't matter if said hypeman has several paragraphs worth of worldbuilding backstory.
>>97334924Are you a readlet. It's right there in the benefits section.
>>97334862It is a statistical inevitability that a number of supers will be interested in, capable, and/or born into rulership. "Most people" and "average" are not relevant to this discussion.>>97334875>those who are in the game are automatically outWrong. Rulers do not cede power to those with no interest or ability to rule, except as political maneuvering in which they still ultimately rule.>their human advisor would [...] be very able to assassinate themCome back after reading the powers.
>>97334924If you can't find it you don't deserve it
>>97334946>It is a statistical inevitability that a number of supers will be interested in, capable, and/or born into rulership.That doesn't mean mundane leadership would just give up. One of the options in the cyoa even gives authorities a shadow government with which to control them.
>>97334924
>someone on reddit claiming to be !*!*!*!*Is it really HIM? Or an imposter?
>>97334946>those who are in the game are automatically outI mean that you aren't likely to trust your direct rivals with your wordHow many times have kings trusted other kings to do buisness for them?You want control over the person you send and so you want them to be highly linked to you and lower status then youAs of such powered individuals are likely to have non-power representativesAnd when the representatives slowly build a world of law it will get a mind of its ownAnd that mind will be mostly nonsuper
>>97334972Who?
>>97334954>That doesn't mean mundane leadership would just give up.I never said that.With a sufficient power difference between people, it is inevitable that the ones with more power will get on top eventually. The lessers may resist, but it is mere resistance, not capable of equality for any significant length of time, and the resistance will be stamped out by the reality of the situation. Mundane people can only become truly equal by becoming super.
>>97334972Shit authors don't matter.
>>97334984>Cape warlords taking over nationsNot on my watch
>>97334994The automatic assumption of evil reveals your bias.
>>97334994There's literally nothing wrong with being a dictator.
>>97334984Not really, most power don't make you invincible, especially considering that most of them exhaust very quickly the user and most people are on the lower end of power. Someone with the right powers might do it but it mostly depends from other choices like the attitude towards supers or the danger level you select or >>97334994
>>97330940>Plot ProtectionI'm curious if this is good to take or not. Having plot armor from accidental deaths would be great in bleak and dark settings but if feels counterintuitive to not just have it by default, since no one will end their character stories being randomly crushed under a fallen piano.
>>97334994I will get my nation of cocksleeves and butlers and you can't stop me
>>97335024Sylen cyoas assume isekai and sartefaging is not the default
>>97335029It’s pretty fuckin obvious Sylen has a bad case of Onionbreadsticks and forgot there’s supposed to be a story instead of just spreadsheet management. Which might be insulting to the cyoas that are actually complicated while still being fun instead of just a chore
>>97335081At least they're easy CYOAs to solve.
>>97335081You aren't from here, and I feel that you should leave
>>97335029It's not really about Sartre fagging but rather of giving you something that won't ever really come up whether you take it or not. I could see it as a drawback since then you will consciously make it so your character can realistically die by breaking his neck on an accidental fall.The Steel Mind plot armor makes the point come across much better since those are situations that may come up naturally in a story.

>>97335400They are.It's strange, though. I can understand having a bad experience with religion due to parents or whatever, but Light Indomitable is probably the most benevolent version of the divine in CYOA alongside the Angel one. Avoidance to this degree is ridiculous. Barely a step under "don't say the trigger word".
>>97330940Ranking builds on how well their power source is used to explain their power suite.>>973333414/10shopping list, a thematic connection can be taken as implied between lifeforce cultivation and divination (meditation) inner force (bodily cultivation) and supernatural (if you squint) but there obvious connection to science and creativity. The bar for justification required with this selection is not too high, but being just a shopping list it fails to reach it.>>97333392>>973334043/10Intelligence and divination fit psionics thematically, chaos and speed could be imagined as being in a similar vein to telekinesis, but again, no justification as it's just a shopping list>>973334515/10Magic could very easily be justified with anything. Are her abilities spells? What does it mean to be skilled at "ice"? Slight improvement over the previous ones because she has a summary.

>>97330940Great job, I'm still readong it, so I will make various questions, if it's not a bother.To start I don't really understand how hyper imbuement works
>>97335438>irrelevant postRanking always boost cyoa engagement you retard
>>97335417Isn't that kind of arbitrary though? Any power source can lead to any power, there doesn't necessarily have to be a special reason for it.
>>97335495The special reason is "I find it unreasonable and unrealistic".
>>97330940Do your irl pets count as immediate close friends that you can choose to get isekai'd with you?Can I then make my isekai'd dog a super by spending a companion slot?
>>97335540Who cares about anything IRL has. Your pet, your mom, your fucking twin jobs to all in-universe animal companions. Don't waste perks on them.
Question time! Perspective, Motivations and Super Goals originally did not have any conditions or what ifs tied to them.

You can use the references to get an idea of how things will turn out.Dark and Bleak WILL have supers declaring themselves world leaders because they can.>>97334810correctly answered here >>97334827You pay a Major Power to become a big brain in general. You can then pay another Major Power (or Super Power) to gain instant proficiency and expertise in a given area and bypass the need to gain it naturally.Genius is VERY powerful. It has always been one of the most powerful options in capeshit. That is why its expensive and heavily taxed.>>97334542As the trope goes. Chaotic Conduit is not a death sentence though. It wouldn't exist as a choice then.
>>97334481This is correct understanding of the scaling.>>97334413I dont like drawbacks, that arent drawbacks.>>97334166>>97334187Intended. 50k super powered beings in a Bleak setting is asking for a lot of trouble. Which is fun!>>97333817Somewhat, yes. But not entirely.>>97333419Toggleable. As >>97333439 has correctly deduced. No powers available to you on the Super Powers page are by default a detriment to you.

>>97330970Uuh why does that girl on "Corporate Dystopia" pic have a big erect cock under that leotard? I like it, but...
Capitalist Dystopia, not Corporate Major spelling mistake
>>97336103its an in-universe ad in cyberpunk. From a meta level, its to show increasing commercialization of the human body, but its mostly to be provocative
>>97336103That's not a girl. Traditional values have eroded so much that's what men wear now.Scifi dystopia.

>>97336534I can't, I'm seething.
>>97330940So if you take Greater Exchange you can't go beyond 4 Major Powers even by having other options granting you Major Powers?Or is it saying you can't take Greater Exchange more than twice?
>>97336751The top of page one gives limits to the powers you can have, it's reiterating that.
>>97336764Oh I completely forgot about that lol. I've been playing this/trying to make a build for over 12 hours.
>>97336780>trying to make a build for over 12 hours.Insanity, are you in any way satisfied with the way it´s turning out?
>>97336794Well I take breaks and procrastinate on 4chan too, and I get lost in my imagination at times...I'm done with everything, but my combination of powers isn't to my liking, so I'm probably just going to rest on it and come back to it tomorrow, maybe reduce the power level of the setting to make things more coherent as well.
Is it better to frame a fantasy world for a CYOA under the pretense of an isekai or just straight up?
>>97336887>maybe reduce the power level of the setting to make things more coherent as well.I kinda just realized that planar travel requires armageddon/one above (unless there are other combinations im not even aware of) and thats me not even having gone through the entire thing yet.I hope you reach your vision through.
>>97336954Explicit isekai
>>97336954Either optional, or a bare-bones isekai premise.>optionalEg a non-isekai premise by default, but you can buy an option that gives the player character (You)r memories, essentially making it isekai.>bare-bones isekaiYour character has (You)r memories, but that's just a supernatural feature of the character, the reincarnation and your status isn't central to the premise. You just woke up in that body one day for no reason.For example many isekai media often have an anteroom before the reincarnation where you meet a god or similar, I hate that. Usually. Isekai Bounty Hunter made it work well.
>>97333349>Always Active>Willpower, Creativityfree drawbacks?or autism that can never be dialed down?very risky anon
The fact that heroslop got so many replies just shows that this place really got taken over by redditors.
>>973371724 builds so far.3 of them were posted within 25 minutes of each other, because anons are a hivemind and think in exactly the same tempo.
>>97336794>InsanityNta, am I really that bad? Usually when I post a build is days after I started to plan it.
People making builds for OC at all is a sure sign these threads have lost their culture...
>>97330940How does capeslop get so many repliesI seriously don't get it
>>97337246Capeshit is an extremely popular genre, it's also low-hanging fruit and most authors like to make their own spin on it when they make an OC within it. Consider that most CYOAs have superpowers and a huge amount of lore is generally oriented around them, unlike standard fantasy, which is usually driven by formulaic magic or divine intervention. It is no surprise to me that a generic cape OC has gotten a huge amount of replies.
>>97337172>OC getting builds is badYOU make something this high-effort
>>97337172TOTAL WHINEFAG DEATH!

>>97337458>>97337464You should know already that they don't care about any oc or practically any cyoa at all and simply want this place to be their personal off topic shitpost or author drama general.
>>97337219It depends, i imagined him sitting there in between eating as a form of obsession like i may fall into myself. But the guy seemed fairly normal?
